CLINICAL TRIAL: 2MG DOSE OF TH9507, A GROWTH HORMONE RELEASING FACTOR ANALOG IN

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. HIV lipodystrophy is characterized by excess visceral fat, dyslipidemia, and low growth hormone (GH) levels. TH9507 is a GH releasing factor that physiologically increases GH levels. A previous study of TH9507 resulted in decreases in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and trunk fat, increases in lean body mass and lipid profile improvement, and was generally well-tolerated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TH9507 in reducing abdominal adiposity associated with HIV-infection.
